Church of the Assumption, Catholic church in Sušice II, Czech Republic

The Church of the Assumption stands in the Nuželice suburb of Sušice, not on the town square. It is the built portion of a larger Gothic church planned in the first half of the 14th century but never completed, on the site of a church mentioned in 1233. A tower and vaulting date from the rebuilding after a 1592 fire.

A church on the site is documented in 1233; the present building is part of a larger Gothic church begun in the first half of the 14th century but never completed. A fire in 1592 destroyed the church, and its rebuilding gave it the present form, including the tower and vault. The Kabátovská chapel was added on the south side in the mid-15th century, the Gerl chapel on the north in 1691.

The church is known locally as the cemetery church of the Virgin Mary and stands in the Nuželice suburb, not on the town square. It is now used mainly for Catholic funeral services; in 1948 the local national committee assigned the Kabát Chapel for non-Catholic funerals. The Kabát family tomb and later the Hutary family tomb were located here from 1736.

The church stands in the Nuželice suburb, not on the town square, so approach it separately from Sušice's centre. It is used mainly for Catholic funeral services, so the interior is generally open in connection with those ceremonies rather than for regular sightseeing.

A 2015 aerial survey with a micro-camera revealed a large quantity of bones inside the Kabátovská chapel, left over from an earlier ossuary or from disturbed graves. The chapel holds a star-shaped vault and was assigned in 1948 by the local national committee for non-Catholic funerals.
